The night was beautiful, and climbing above camp Muir incredible. We crossed Cowlitz Glacier, Cathedral Gap, and went around Ingraham Flats due to a large crevasse there.
Then up Disappointment Cleaver and the last few thousand feet to the summit. The winds were blowing hard (reportedly 50-60 mph), but we made it to the top at 6AM.
Veru felt great (Brad and me a little less so ;-), and we only stayed on the top for around 15 minutes. Due to the darkness and the wind, we actually didn't take pictures until our descent.
In the pictures you can see some of the crevasses, Ingraham flats, and the incredible scenery above 10,000 feet!

Hi guys,
I have finally caught up with you. Had no idea you have a blog since 2007. Why?
Congratulations to you all! I am very proud of what you have accomplished.
It is difficult to offer you any adventurous events from the height of about 400 meters. Only, the other day, I held a ladder for Eric who climbed up to plug in a hole our woodpecker made in their roof. Height of 400 + 3-5 m.
